Not quite a replacement for a plumber, this Velcro Snake allows you to fish out smaller hair clogs from sink drains all on your own. You still have to call the pros when little Susan's shoved her hamster down the drain, but for smaller clogs, the Flexisnake should do fine.

The trick comes from the bit of velcro at the end, which when you spin the snake around, picks up hair and other particles from inside your drain. Pull it out, vomit at the disgustingness, and you're good to go.
